Buying or selling a home is one of the most stressful decisions you will make.  The process isn't easy, but, an experienced, full-time agent will be able to reduce the number of issues that could arise and take the worry out of the transaction.  I commonly refer to myself as a "firefighter."  Thats what I do, is put out fires for my clients, and make sure their goals are realized. My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you.  Ultimately, the only thing that matters is the relationship  AFTER the transaction.   See what my clients have said about my real estate services...

"We are pleased to share our recent experience looking for property in Montana with the help of our realtor, Shawn Gaugler.  Five months prior to our arrival on site we conveyed to Shawn our needs and desires for a vacation home.  Based on our stated priorities, she periodically forwarded listings for our consideration.  This was extremely helpful, as it gave us a perspective on the various properties and situations available in our price range.

Once we arrived in Montana, Shawn patiently introduced a number of options and locations as we further defined our priorities.  Happily, we settled on a property that should meet our needs well into the future.  Throughout the process we appreciated Shawn's non-pressured approach and honest feedback to our questions and concerns.  It took a great deal of effort on her part to narrow hundreds of properties and present only those that were a good match for our desires, which made for efficient use of our time.  We knew that her priority was for us to find the right property, regardless of time spent in the search.

Her stated goal is to create a lasting friendship, and she's done just that!"

Dear Shawn:

I am very particular when endorsing anyone...however, you have earned an endorsement which I am gladly providing below.  Again, I wish to thank you for the outstanding work you did on this transaction.

"Shawn Gaugler proved to be the consumate realtor throughout the process of purchasing my farm south of Whitehall, MT.  As a realtor in another state, it becomes evident very quickly who pays attention to detail and who doesn't.  She was the seller's agent, but, went out of her way to help me in the purchase of the property and quite frankly went well beyond what I expected.  Shawn was quick to take action and to help in every way she could since both the seller and buyer were located in different states.  Although it was an hour drive from her office to the property, she made several trips to the property to assist in the inspections and other actions that needed attention and in many ways became my eyes and ears while ensuring she did not compromise her position of the seller's agent.  Shawn is a winner and will certainly represent a client above and beyond the call of duty.  She is certainly someone I would not hesitate to utilize in any future real estate transaction."
